Niche social networks are easier to get traction with today than at any other time in the past decade. Vast numbers of people are turned off by the vile major networks like Twitter and Facebook, which are overflowing with hate, calls to violence, constant threats, psychotic mobs that will try to ruin your life over basic disagreements, and so on. The future of social media - where the best experiences will be had - is in niche communities that are heavily insular and can easily blockade against terrible users and their terrible posts.

I was coming in to post this. There is new evidence that bruxism is your body just trying to keep its airway open when you are asleep.

If you grind your teeth at night and have excessive daytime sleepiness even after getting 8+ hours of sleep, then you should get a sleep study done to check for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a very serious medical condition that increases blood pressure, damages your brain, wrecks havoc on your mental health, and increases risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised of Rudy goes scorched earth and drags Trump in, but maybe get off the Qoolaid if you think Dominion are the conspiracy here...
I think it's quite reasonable to conclude a horrible person, by his actions and statements, induced millions of people to vote a certain way. Perhaps not the way that person intended, mind you.
I don't know which it is or if multiple other factors are involved, but if you look at the structure of an eye, there are tissues which compose the iris which are connected to the adjacent tissue of where the lens is nestled. It's quite possible to me that increased use of the iris outdoors to close down and reduce light entering the eye could affect the "dynamic range" of the lens response to focal inputs - especially during the growth stages of kids.

>If he himself was sold by the (false) facts he received from others, he is a more difficult defamation target.

I feel like Giuliani got himself stuck between a rock and a hard place here by filing actual lawsuits.

At that point, he either had to (1) include his claims about Dominion (which were extremely relevant to his lawsuits) and open himself up to perjury or (2) leave his claims out, providing pretty damning evidence in a defamation suit that he didn't believe the evidence himself.

He went with (2) and he only has a tiny bit of wiggle room to prove that he believed the claims / "evidence" but they wouldn't be useful to include in his lawsuits.

Short selling is not a fundamental activity. Short selling should be the thing that is illegal. None of this nonsense would exist if it weren’t for the absurd nonsense that is borrowing a stock, selling it, waiting for the price to drop, buying a stock, and giving it back. Short selling is absurd. All options trading should be banned by the SEC.

Not to mention if a night in jail or fine (which itself is not warranted if the person is only mentally ill and not a danger to anyone or themselves), turns into a criminal charge that is then prosecuted and leads to a conviction, you've just made their path to rejoining society so much harder. Likely, their mental health predispositions will also be made much worse due to the strain of prison.
The system keeps trotting along because there's money to be made by prisons. People reflexively want the homeless off the streets and will tolerate, even reward heavy handed prosecutors. I've fallen in that category of punitive nearby residents - I live in a place near what has become a runaway encampment. When I drive by it and think how close my place is, I get angry at the homeless, the blight and trash. I have to force myself to think of the humanity, the suffering and lack of options these folks have. But to be honest, other than try to support local action to help these people, I don't do much either. I take pride in not joining the rest of the NIMBYs but you wouldn't believe the shit fit people around here threw because mobile showers were coming to the encampment once a week. Some of the people who threw the biggest shit fit also have political yard signs supporting anti-poverty measures, but as they say, talk is cheap; yard sign, sure - build cheap community housing near me or allow people to camp - hold your horses...
> Huh. I didn't know the SLIC was written in C++, that's ... kind of surprising to me, for some reason. Dunno. Doesn't seem in-character with the rest of the OS stack somehow. The whole thing always felt very sheltered, even from other parts of IBM. Lots of esoteric languages and layers, and then there's C++, hah

I think the whole thing in some way is less-sheltered (especially from other parts of IBM) than it at first appears. Originally IBM planned to replace the 360/370 mainframe line with a brand new platform called "Future Systems". The idea was killed, but it survived in the form of the System/38. So a lot of the novel technologies in S/38 originally came from the mainframe side of the business, albeit ideas they never actually shipped. Most of the lower-level code of S/38 was written in custom PL/I dialects (PL/MP, PL/MI) – something other parts of IBM were big on (much of z/OS is written in PL/X; some of the mainframe firmware was written in PL.8; the 8100 was written in PL/DS). The CISC processor of the original AS/400 had an instruction set inspired by the 370 mainframe architecture. RPG came from the 1400 series, and was supported on 360/370 as well, albeit never very popular there. And of course, EBCDIC. The developers who originally wrote OS/400 (and System/38 CPF before it) did the development work on VM/CMS, since OS/400 was never self-hosting. So a lot of the bits that went into the AS/400 originally came from other parts of IBM, or were consistent with what other parts of IBM were doing.

As far as C++ goes, I think that was a deliberate decision to try to get away from writing code in secret PL/I dialects and move to an industry standard language. Parts of the OS were written in Modula 2, which was an earlier attempt at doing the same thing, albeit that attempt failed because Modula 2 didn't take off like some people thought it would.

In more recent times, the biggest influence on IBM i has been AIX (with PASE) and Linux (with porting open source software to PASE). But it has drawn influences from various other sources over the year. If you have access to an IBM i box, check out the file /QIBM/include/os2.h, which provides (through the other headers it includes) a tiny subset of the OS/2 APIs. (I get the impression the plan, at one point, was to port a lot more of the OS/2 API to OS/400, but the plan died before they could port any more than a tiny subset of it.)

> My desktop runs a POWER chip and it's amusing that there are still custom operating modes from the RS64 chips in modern POWER, like memory tagging to support the SLIC's translation layer

POWER isn't the only architecture with memory tagging now. SPARC has had it since 2015 (SPARC ADI introduced in M7). ARM has an extension for it, MTE (I don't know if any hardware has shipped with it yet, but QEMU emulates it.)

The problem with slurm is how it's typically used: ssh into a shared login node with a shared file system, authorization is tightly coupled to linux users on that node, submit jobs with sbatch. Kubernetes deployment feels much more modern and safe.

I have worked with containers + slurm, where the vendor libmpi is injected in the container runtime [1] by a hook, which gives you close to bare metal performance with some container goodness in terms of isolation and deployment.

I don't have any expectations for how they will address their transgressions. They don't have a right to my personal data, don't have a right to track me, don't have a right to sell my attention to modify my behavior. People who are the target of their data collection -- which includes users and innocent bystanders -- are victims, and we don't expect victims to come up with performance improvement plans for their abusers.
The point is that giving poor people clothing, and a home is the start. It's the first step in a process that allows you to target narrower segments with more specific needs and it's both better for society and cheaper than locking them up.

Yes, I've seen that. It corroborates exactly what Giuliani was saying: the decision was made to bar observers and media from the room from the night, and the decision was made to nonetheless continue vote counting activities in their absence. That's the whole problem.

The only thing the statement adds is that they investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong. That is not the same thing as having observers. Even North Korea investigates its own elections and concludes that it does nothing wrong.
Sure, but that pittance of bandwidth is a far cry from having persistent 24/7 access to a high bandwidth, low latency service like Starlink.

This doesn’t just happen to voting machine companies. Sometimes being smeared by a tabloid or newspaper might generate enough interest to make the victim a LPPF and raise the bar for filing a defamation suit.

>The study analyzed 200 pairs of glasses that had been ordered from 10 different websites. The lenses were analyzed based on a number of criteria, including measurement of sphere power, cylinder power and axis, add power (if specified), separation of distance of optical centers and center thickness. The AOA reports that in some cases, single vision lenses were delivered instead of the bifocals that had been ordered. In other cases, specific lens treatments were either added to an or were left off.

>>almost half of the eyeglasses tested in the study (the AOA reports the number at 44.8 percent) didn't have the correct prescription strength or presented problems with safety.

The so-called "digital hoarding" might not be an obsession but a perfectly reasonable approach when the time needed to clean up the contents of your archive would cost more than you are willing to pay. Google was one of the first companies explicitly encouraging this behavior (displaying "Why delete email when you can archive it?" when you tried to remove messages). After all, it's not easy to be 100% whether you are going to need a particular document or not. And, given the fact that archiving is cheap, it seems more reasonable not to take the risk.
> Most of the non-tech people I know have no idea what you are even talking about.

People always trot this out with zero evidence. C'mon, this isn't even engaging in good faith. I am absolutely sure that if you articulate the technology and how it's used in ways people understand they would have objections. To accept otherwise is to accept that obfuscation is an acceptable way of bypassing user consent.
The court system moves slower than the news. Many of these lawsuits are still ongoing. Simply stating "they were discredited" doesn't make the evidence presented less true. If you look at what is presented, you'll find much of it is quite compelling.

>There is another possible path, and it goes something like: understand that the vast majority of people do not have jobs that they like, the day job is to pay the bills.

From personal experience it seems to me that the majority of people do not enjoy their jobs and at the same time have given up on finding meaningful job. Another way of interpreting what you said could be to notice how people that have given up on finding meaning in their jobs are left with a job that primarily is there to pay the bills.

>(optionally) optimise your day job & savings rate towards saving and investing enough so you can afford to spend more time on meaningful activities, and less (or no) time on the day job to generate income. If you save enough that you don't have to work for 25 years, then if you invest that in the stock market it may produce a real return of 4% each year- which on average covers your expenses.
Then maybe you have the rest of your life to look for more meaningful activities, and you also have the option of doing activities that don't generate any cashflow.

To me this imposes the risk of wasting your life in order to not work in your 50s and since we don't live twice that risk feels to big.
The Mueller report clearly stated that Russia had active efforts to influence the 2016 election, the Trump campaign was aware of those efforts, and the Trump campaign expected to benefit from those efforts.

My understanding of the parent's post was that someone with -2 vision may expect roughly perfect vision as their eyes age.

I couldn't find a study with data, but there are anecdotal guides online (for picking reading glasses) which state that by 60 years old, it's estimated that a person would need about +2.25 diopters in correction. So someone who is around -2 diopters may expect to have roughly perfect vision as they get older.

This is not a fundamental notion in git. The hash includes timestamps as well.

It also contains author and commiter details. Here's a slightly revised list borrowed from a blog post[1]

Be great for threads like these if HN had both:

1) A block function so we could cut the massively-upvoted, one-sided comments and get to the impartial or contrary information buried underneath them.

2) A "unfade" button to see the massively-downvoted comments.

Integrating counselling and medical doctoring is a strange idea, and it's somewhat weird that it's even as much of a thing as it is. Drug-focused psychiatrists are certainly going to be a thing so long as med school is so costly and med schools conspire to keep the supply of doctors low.
Okay, but that wouldn't open up the researcher for a lawsuit, it would just provide the company with a PR leg to stand on. Nothing about this case is similar to what you outlined, and would not meet the legal requirements for a successful libel or slander case.

If any company comes out and says the product 100% secure, the tech community basically scoffs at them. It's not a good PR strategy for a company anyways. Now, relying on the reputation of another firm through audits is a totally normal way of doing business. This does not compete with researchers, and has by and large included researchers (stuff like Bug Bounty/Responsible Disclosure programs) as a good control. So any researcher looking for this stuff would likely have a protected way to disclose their findings.

Further, this is supported by another compliance body in the SEC via SOX. There has to be a protected whistleblower program for publicly traded companies. So, the ability to disclose security gaps is not neutered in any way by this court case, no matter how it plays out.
The later parts on caches are very relevant, though.

Also, should know and need to know are slightly different, no?

The paper Report of a giant titanosaur sauropod from the Upper Cretaceous of Neuquén Province, Argentina [1]:

> One of the most fascinating research topics in the field of sauropod dinosaurs is the evolution of gigantism. In the particular case of Titanosauria, the record of multi-ton species (those exceeding 40 tons) comes mainly from Patagonia. The record of super-sized titanosaur sauropods has traditionally been extremely fragmentary, although recent discoveries of more complete taxa have revealed significant anatomical information previously unavailable due to preservation biases. In this contribution we present a giant titanosaur sauropod from the Candeleros Formation (Cenomanian, circa 98 Ma) of Neuquén Province, composed of an articulated sequence of 20 most anterior plus 4 posterior caudal vertebrae and several appendicular bones.
